This issue really involves privacy. As a nominally rich second generation, Shen Haoyang has spent all the money in his card because he is keen to prove himself by gambling on stones.
In addition, he lost a lot of money in the jade rough market yesterday, so the funds he can use today are not very abundant.
But the second eldest son of the Shen family did not want to show weakness in front of Li Xiangqian and Yan Xiaonan.
So he deliberately patted his chest and became so proud.
"Brother Xiangqian, there is nothing special about me except that I have a lot of money. The funds available in my card today are about 10 million."
After all, he was too boastful, so Shen Haoyang seemed a little lacking in confidence.
In addition, Li Xiangqian was staring at him intently at this moment, which made Shen Haoyang even more panicked. Unknowingly, his voice was trembling a little.
And most importantly, when he spoke, he did not dare to look at Li Xiangqian.
Looking at Shen Haoyang's eyes, Li Xiangqian had already understood.
The strategic vice president of Tianmen Group and the high-ranking brand director cannot possibly reach the 10 million he mentioned with the funds available today.
Moreover, looking at Shen Haoyang's guilty look just now, I'm afraid he won't even be able to handle five million.
That's right.
Just now, when Li Xiangqian used his eyes to observe the row of twenty rough jade stones, he roughly understood that among the twenty pieces of material, most of the leather shells performed very well.
Since other raw jadeite shells have performed very well, the upcoming auction will definitely be fierce, and the rich and famous people in the auction will spend their money desperately.
Li Xiangqian never fights an unprepared battle.
Instead of endlessly fighting with these well-funded big guys and ultimately losing at a bloody price, it is better to find another way and select the best from the jade materials with poor shell performance.
Not only will competition be smaller this way, but the costs will also be less.
Betting on the most successful stones at the smallest cost is the foundation of the jade stone gambling business.
So just now, after Li went forward and circled around the twenty pieces of jade material, he selected the red wax leather jade material No. 19 that would get stuck at the entrance of the field.
He planned to use this No. 19 material to repay Shen Haoyang for helping him.
So seeing that Shen Haoyang was bragging a little guilty, Li paused and once again fixed his sharp eyes on the second son of the Shen family.
"Haoyang, to be honest, how much funds do you have available today?"
Seeing Li Qianqian's glaring eyes and insisting on asking him how much available funds he had, Shen Haoyang sighed and saw that there was no one around, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Brother Xiang, to tell you the truth, I only have two million left on my card."
After hearing the figure two million, Li Xiangqian silently estimated that two million should be about the same.
The starting bid for this piece of material is 800,000 yuan. In addition, the leather case is in average condition and there are many cracks on the leather case. If the bidding price is 2 million yuan, it should be almost the top price.
So Li Qianqian made a clear plan and whispered to Shen Haoyang: "Haoyang, don't do anything else for a while, just concentrate on taking pictures of the piece of material No. 19."
Li Xiangqian knew that Shen Haoyang was going to object, but he definitely didn't want to listen to Shen Haoyang's nagging anymore.
So after saying that, he turned around and motioned for Yan Xiaonan to follow him and go elsewhere.
As expected, Shen Haoyang opened his mouth wide in surprise when he heard Li Xiangqian asking him to go all out to shoot the No. 19 jadeite material.
He really wanted to call Li Xiangqian right away and tell him that this material was really not good.
As a result, Li Xiangqian pulled Yan Xiaonan and squeezed into the crowd.
At this moment, Shen Haoyang really regretted it and wanted to slap himself on the thigh.
I only had two million left in my bank card, so I thought I would rely on Li Xiangqian to make a comeback, and then, in an occasion like today where rich and famous people gather, I would make a splash with a big show.
He also let his parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles at home, and the elder brother who always looked down on him take a look.
Haoyang, the second eldest son of the Shen family, is definitely not a playboy who only knows how to show off, let alone a loser.
When he heard that Li Xiangqian asked him to concentrate on taking pictures of the No. 19 jadeite rough stone that no one was optimistic about, his heart really dropped.
In his opinion, it is a trivial matter to run out of money. If it is a big deal, he can be embarrassed and ask for it from his family again.
But on such an important occasion today, if I spend so much money and cut out a piece of trash, not only will I be slapped in public and embarrassed, but the news will also spread to the Shen family soon.
Am I still fucking alive?
At this moment, Shen Haoyang pouted, his face was a little pale, and his breath was a little unsteady.
He even wondered whether the sudden appearance of Li Xiangqian in front of him was caused by his elder brother Shen Haokun deliberately spending money to find him and continue to make his reputation worse.
When Shen Haoyang was extremely resistant and rejected in his heart, Li Xiangqian and Yan Xiaonan also stood side by side in front of the other nineteen pieces of materials and stopped to watch one by one.
It's hard for a fairy to break an inch of jade.
Gambling on stones is the most charming and exciting. No one knows what kind of mystery is hidden in the material before it is cut.
As a student who is about to enter his senior year, Yan Xiaonan is busy with studies on weekdays and knows nothing about jade materials.
She looked at the ingredients and felt that every piece was good, so at this moment Li Xiangqian seemed to be acting as Yan Xiaonan's personal guide, explaining to Yan Xiaonan in a low voice and patiently answering every question Yan Xiaonan had.
As a result, he whispered and Yao Xuewei saw it.
At this moment, Miss Yao didn't even know what was wrong with her. The more she looked at Li Xiangqian, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Especially when I saw Li Xiangqian talking to Yan Xiaonan, and the way Yan Xiaonan looked at Li Xiangqian, his eyes were really full of love.
There was an even greater sense of emptiness and loss in her heart.
"Junior sister, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
The tall man who came with Yao Xuewei just now saw that Yao Xuewei didn't even look at the material, but stared at a man non-stop.
And he seemed to be a little unhappy on his face, so he immediately asked with concern.
"Oh, senior brother, it's okay."
Yao Xuewei suddenly felt embarrassed. She turned around and excused herself to the bathroom.
This senior brother of Yao Xuewei is named Xu Tengfei, and he is the chief disciple of Dong Yuchun, the number one jade carver in the South.
Dong Yuchun was originally invited to this jade rough stone exchange auction.
But Dong Yuchun didn't want to participate, so he asked his eldest apprentice Xu Tengfei to come over and represent him.
After all, we are all in the same circle. If you don't look up when you look down, you won't be invited, and it won't be good when you meet in the future.
So Xu Tengfei came.
And Yao Xuewei likes to join in wherever the excitement is.
What's more, a very important purpose of her coming to Tianzhou this time was to participate in the jadeite rough exchange auction held this time, so of course she came with her senior brother.
It's a pity that when I came, I was very angry.
The exchange of jadeite stones is still continuing, and people are still entering the hall one after another.
The crowd was almost gone and the auction time was coming soon. But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door. Everyone looked up and saw four more people walking in.
